Not on this earth
...but where it matters
Witnessing:
5/26/09

 

Author’s note: the intent here is to witness. Most people do not have a desire to know the truth. Actually, very few do. Most souls have been resigned (if they still have a job) to go to work, do their duties usually in a mechanical sense and then return home. It seems that the economy right now has the majority of people on edge and you can see it almost everywhere you go (at least in America) especially on the roads, in the offices, and in the stores. People nowadays are under an extreme amount of pressure the likes of which you can almost cut with a knife. It’s kind of like someone or something is taking away their future, their dream, their prosperity and they don’t know what to do about it. The dynamics are quickly changing now and we are soon approaching a period of transition that will be dramatic. It will truly be a time of tribulation that the world has never seen and men’s hearts will truly faint for all the calamity and the choice will have to be individually made on what side they will be on – either the world’s crumbling social institutions or God’s inerrant infallible Word. Simple as that.
                                                        
The Churches I’m afraid will be under the power of a misrepresentation of Romans 13 saying to “obey the government” while taking a back seat to their spiritual authority which they have already abrogated and gave away a long time ago. Most people (the multitude) are so entrenched in the familial adherence to social and Church “traditions” that they will gladly go along with whatever the government says when in time of crisis because they will say “the government will protect us”, that, unwittingly or willingly, they will actually fulfill prophecy in this regard.
 
I’m just one little guy sitting on the watchman’s wall trying to warn people so that they know. You can say that I’m investing in the future. The very few men and women out there who are doing this don’t do it for the fame or money. As a matter of fact the bad guy hates our guts with a vengeance. Our only recompense is to hear those words “good and faithful servant”.    
 
A few days ago I had a conversation in Spanish with a woman that started out rather mundane (ordinary). Out of nowhere she asked what Church I went to. The reply was none. She said “oh, you must be a Christian”. I said yes, as a called-out assembly of believers. The next comment was rather startling “yes, I am too but, almost everyone is from a Church. I feel so alone when I try to talk to them”. I then shared;
 
·         who we are as Spiritual Israel and how Esau gave away his birthright to his brother Jacob for a bowl of soup (temporary nourishment) and,
·         how when Jesus told Nicodemus that “ye must be born again” – that it meant physical Israel must be born again as “spiritual Israel” and,
·         the difference between the multitude and the remnant and,
·         how there will be a “reckoning” and sealing that will go on,
·         how there will be a “greater exodus” that will happen,
·         how most Churches believe that the Church “replaced” Israel or the equally blasphemous dual-covenant theology or,
·         how other Churches believe that modern day Israel are still the chosen people even though they’re still antichrist and,
·         how the rapture Church still think that since they are special sitting in their 501c3 corporations; they still believe they will get an elevator ride out from earth and have in essence abrogated (given away) their birthright to 144,000 male virgin Jews that they say will spontaneously evangelize the world while they are off in the clouds for 7 years and,
·         how we must understand the meaning of symbolic metaphor language and,
·         how the two beasts of Revelation 13 are a consolidation of politics and religion (1st beast is political and 2nd beast is religious) that later show back up again as “Mystery Babylon” in the 17th chapter and how we are to come out of “her”, and,
·         how 11 of the 12 original disciples died for their faith (without a rapture) and,
·         how the one-time sacrifice was justified for all, and,
·         how could the Antichrist “sit” in the temple “if” the temple is the body of believers.. and,
·         how immediately after the tribulation that Jesus will send His angles with the great sound of a trumpet to gather together His elect, and,
·         how we are to worship the Lord God in spirit and in truth; even if it means to forsake all and follow Him withersoever He goeth, and,
·         how to this very day – there are “multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision”.
 
It’s obvious that the above talking points are neither inclusive nor exhaustive of the entirety of the Gospel message but merely a starting point since the conversation was with a person who knew scripture 101. It just shows that the Word of God is a living matrix of the pure river of live that provides sustenance for eternity. And as we can see now – the time draws near for the “final generation” to make their choice. For all other so-called world religions: none of them will save a person either from world calamities or spiritual death. Jesus Christ is the one and only God who will save and no other.   
 
Concerning the conversation above: all these things resonated with this person and they got it. Tears formed in their eyes as they left. This was something the Lord had been speaking to her about and she just needed someone to confirm it.
 
On the dusty sun baked dry barren desert floor of life, another soul drank of the cool refreshing water that only the true Word of God can give. I also thanked her for being a blessing to me.
 
And the 144,000 who are the male virgins – they are the ones not tainted with false teaching and/or have the oil in their lamps. They are the very few men & women who are trying to get this message out to this last generation.
 
Will you do the same?
